Mizpah Cemetery
Platteville, Weld County, Colorado
|
Located 1/2
mile East of Platteville on Weld County Road 32 in Township 3, Range 66, Section 18. The Platteville Mizpah Cemetery is the oldest public cemetery in
Weld County that is still in use. It is operated by the Town of Platteville.
Originally called the Sandhill Cemetery by the pioneers, it was renamed Mizpah Cemetery
after 1926. In 1926, the Mizpah Club made the improvement of the cemetery their club project.
With the club as a driving force, cemetery improvement became a community project.
Trees, shrubs, and grass were planted as money became available. A WPA project in
1939 fenced the cemetery and installed the first rock gateway. The second rock gateway
was built and dedicated to the memory of the area servicemen who lost their lives
in World War II.
An unknown person is the first recorded burial, the first named burial was in 1873.
Persons associated with the nearby fur trading posts and
Fort Vasquez may have been buried on the hill as early as the 1840s. A local
folklore heroine named Rattlesnake Kate is buried in Mizpah Cemetery. One day in
1925, she killed 140 rattlesnakes on her way to a pond with her son. The snakes
were collected and the skins were used to make a dress, which she wore to many functions.
Her story is on file with the Platteville Pioneer Museum. |
